Oaks are OK: an understatement

Oak Trees Turning Orange and Red 9838

Along Williamson County Road 279 on November 26th I stopped to photograph some fabulous oaks that were turning orange, red, and brown. I don’t know what species they were, but Quercus buckleyi, known as Texas red oak, is a possibility. I do know that of the many people who drove by during my 25 minutes there, no one else stopped to check out the fall foliage. Their loss, my gain—and now yours too.
